The shit was sold to farmers (later to the estates of senators growing luxury crops like vegetables and spices), and the piss went to fullers - where it was converted into ammonia for laundering. There is the tale of a Roman millionaire who's son complained about their chosen business. The millionaire shoves a gold coin under the kid's nose and says, in Latin "And yet you don't mind the stink of the coin, do you?"

How diplomatic of the nice S. T. guy. I wonder what, exactly, is his title? heehee<br /> <br />We had a septic system one time in a rental we lived in. The landlord suggested we use the box of treatment once a month - you've seen the commercial I am sure, but I can't remember what it is. Ahhhh, the beauty of middle age? memory loss. Anyway - did he mention that? It is supposed to help break down the "generated" waste. I never knew if it really worked or was just a marketing ploy.<br /> <br />I was sorry to read you comment about your night cramps. Those are simply the worst, especially if you are sound asleep and slow moving to get up and "walk" them off. I hope you were able to get some relief. I have had them before [less severe I am sure] but I find that eating a banana helps almost immediately b/c of the potassium. Like I said tho' mine weren't as bad I think.<br /><br />I do hope tonight is easier for you and there are no cramps. Sweet dreams and I will keep you in my prayers. :)SkippyMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09479661523059481730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-60575437299708236482012-10-21T17:42:28.557-05:002012-10-21T17:42:28.557-05:00DANG what a shitty post!DANG what a shitty post!Linda Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03070050388987072100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-13305601701852819232012-10-21T12:26:09.875-05:002012-10-21T12:26:09.875-05:00Ours probably needs to be done, too, but I can'...Ours probably needs to be done, too, but I can't seem to get my husband to care.

He sat on the wall and drew deep breaths.<br />Our room full of weavers would say, Oh, it's septic day. Except one little old lady, who sort of looked down on us for having septic instead of sewers. An acre or so down the road and visible through the trees in the winter is a big, lovely home. Marge would look that direction, sniff, and say she was sure they had a sewer at the big house. She never believed there are no sewers in our township.Joanne Noragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09834682329952369721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-15593690394992797332012-10-21T08:45:53.362-05:002012-10-21T08:45:53.362-05:00i think yours must have been in good shape as ther...i think yours must have been in good shape as there was LOTS of odor when ours was serviced about 5 yrs ago. we had to get an aerobic system installed when we bought the place (i'd have much preferred the older anaerobic style like you have with the drain lines...) ah well.TexWisGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13641962051044162710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-23709639009286442522012-10-21T07:27:19.832-05:002012-10-21T07:27:19.832-05:00We've lived here in Lloyd for getting close to...We've lived here in Lloyd for getting close to nine years and we've never had our septic tank serviced.

(Infancy to 12th grade.) We had a single tank with a drain field. My mom has since had it replaced entirely, and now in Florida you have to elevate the tank to keep it out of the water table, so newer houses often have these unsightly mounds in the front or side yard. Mom was able to keep our mound to a minimum so it doesn't look too bad.Steve Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11684120060438252945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-44416484742812650092012-10-20T22:37:02.579-05:002012-10-20T22:37:02.579-05:00Surprisingly enough, there was no odor.
